A post from X by @Y510827. A chestnut horse in his stall looking out to the left with his head above a tall gate. The text reads, "20260721 Shadai Stallion Station. Orfevre. Is he just watching the comings and goings of other horses? I hope he's doing well and only showing his face at those times."
A TV screen for WCTV, a CBS affiliate, with the message, "Sorry for the interruption in service. There is no need to call us. We are aware that this TV station is temporarily unavailable and we will have this channel back as quickly as possible."

Wind in Her Hair, a very old brown mare with a white stripe down the center of her face, wearing a grey blanket that extends up her neck and is closed in the front, nibbling a carrot that is extended from a hand. This photo was taken during Christmas 2025.
A poem, "Spring and Fall, to a young child" by Gerald Manley Hopkins (1844-1889). Margaret are you grieving Over Goldengrove unleaving? Leaves, like the things of man, you With your fresh thoughts care for, can you? Ah! as the heart grows older It will come to such sights colder By and by, nor spare a sigh Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie; And yet you will weep and know why. Now no matter, child, the name: Sorrow's springs are the same. Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed What heart heard of, ghost guessed: It is the blight man was born for, It is Margaret you mourn for.

This is a post on NetKeiba from a fan regarding the euthanization of the filly Liberty Island after breaking down in the QEII at Sha Tin. This is an imperfect automated English translation of a comment written in Japanese. The post reads: I don't want to believe it, but the local Hong Kong newspaper reports are not fake. She was shocking from the age of 2, won the Triple Crown at the age of 3, challenged Equinox as a 3-year-old filly, and I will never forget how she ran desperately even after experiencing overseas and injury. To be honest, the only strong fillies I liked this much were Liberty and Gran Alegria. Gran Alegria and Liberty Island were my favorite horses. When I saw her last race, there were many comments saying she had passed her peak, and I believed that was not the case, but I thought she might have actually burned out, but I thought that I would see her come back in Hong Kong. I never thought it wouldn't turn out like this... There are several turning points in life, and I think there were times when we thought, "I'm going to stop pushing her so hard at that time, let's put her in breeding." Or, "I wish I had stopped her earlier in the race." It is true that if that had happened, she would have been saved, but no one is to blame, not even Liberty. The proof that Liberty ran hard will surely be engraved in the hearts of kind-hearted horse racing fans and Liberty fans for the rest of their lives. Please praise Liberty Island for doing their best until the end and not letting Kawada down. Thank you so much, Liberty Island. Please get along well with your father. Goodbye.
